hello everyone!...
Am being a bit more creative with my meals this week so making a chilli tonight to last me a couple of nights, going to do an aubergine bake one night i think, and going to do tuna wraps for lunch instead of boring old salad (don't really want to use my syns on the wraps but it will be a nice change).

I WILL keep on the straight and narrow!! :eek: :A

if you fancy it you could use a wholemeal pitta (I believe Asda and Co-op ones count as a HEB) in place of the wrap, save some syns! I like them warmed in the microwave until they swell then cut them open and stuff in your filling and mmmmm.

....T - small amount of Mince, loads of veggi bits in a tomato sauce(bolognese) on spaghetti. - getting all the family to cut down on the mince intake, not quite converted them to quorn yet!! But i'm trying

Not sure on syns, probably syn some extra skimmed milk to make a hot choc option for supper. Yummy.

Hi Futurecooper, have you tried dried soya mince? I just looked it up and it seems to be free on all plans. I find it has more taste and a better texture than the quorn mince - for years before SW I would mix soya mince & real mince half and half anyway as a kind of stretcher!

Scottish lass you call that a LOT?!?!?!?!?!? 'snothing! 2 little bits of fruit for snacks? You can stuff more in than that, honestly, and still lose weight. It's a shame MrsMcawber doesn't drop in so often, you should look at the list of things she eats in a day and she has literally lost stones. I'll see if I can find a sample post back in the thread and point you to it! :rotfl:

here I am back, she was doing a red day with this menu so has 2 HEAs and Bs but nevertheless look at how much she ate!

• apple
  
• 2 boiled eggs
• salmon fillet
  
• tickled cabbage
• tickled beetroot
• tickled onions
• frozen strawberries
  
• frozen raspberries
• coconut n pineapple quark
• 227g jacket (B)
  
• cottage cheese
• lettuce
• cucumber
• tomatoes
• peppers
• onion
• tickled veg
• 500ml semi (2XA)
• activia (2.5)

so I make that 2A+1B ans 2.5 syns covered -I will figure what to do with the other B later

---

and that raises another question that's been niggling at me, I see MrsM synned her activia but others of you have activia snackpots & don't write syns against them. I don't think I've ever bought one but I see them in the yog section, are they free or not please?

Thanks Blackberry-rum for the advice. roll on first WI.
